Ok, I have to say that this book rubbed me in all the wrong ways.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
First, more pictures than content. I mean, if I want to have a book about
|
|
|
|
|
boats, I'd get a book about boats, not about leadership.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Second, the rules are somewhat weird. "A leader must know themselves" I can
|
|
|
|
|
get behind, specially because one would have to know their own weaknesses to
|
|
|
|
|
lead people. "Know what they want"... why? A leader may lead people to make
|
|
|
|
|
things they (leader) don't even fully agree, but know it must be done. Just
|
|
|
|
|
knowing what you want (even couple with the other points) doesn't make you a
|
|
|
|
|
leader -- heck, it doesn't even _fit_ the description of a leader.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This was a book that I picked up and dropped next day 'cause fuck confusing
|
|
|
|
|
"being a boss" with "being a leader" -- and those two are completelly
|
|
|
|
|
different aspects.
